RECEPTAOLE.

application filed July 80, 1928.

To all wlwm it may concern:

Be it known that l HENRIETTA G. SIB- JBALD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Duluth in the county of St. Louis an State of Minnesota, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Receptacles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

T is invention re ates to receptacles and has special reference to means for dividing the internal area of a baking or like receptacles so that thin cake batters of difi'erent colors may be kept from running into one another.

The principal object ol the invention is to provide convenient means wherebv two or more cakes, for example, may be baked within a single receptacle, they being of any desired variation in size.

Another object is to provide such means applicable to a pan or receptacle without in any way changing the design or interfering with the usefulness of the receptacle.

Uther objects and advantages of the invention will appear in the further description thereof.

Referring to the accompanying drawing tormin part of this application and in which like reference characters indicate like Figure l is a perspective view of a bake pan equipped with one of the improved division elements;

Figure 2 is a transverse section through one?1 of the division, or partition elements; an

Figure 3 is a modified form of division element.

1 represents a rectangularly shaped baking pan or other similar receptacle having positioned therein the preferred form of division wall 2. This wall is made of a piece of sheet metal such as tin or the like bent u on itself about a piece of spring wire 3, which extends some distance beyond the ends thereof, the two parts of the wall thus abuttin each other continuing for a distance slightly greater than the depth of the pan where the extreme edges thereof are Serial No. 854,538.

the central portion, thus forming an inverted T-shaped element. The extreme ends of'the wire 3 are bent slightly arouately in she but downwardly substantially parallel wit the ends of the division wall, with the extreme ends thereof bent upwardly into a circle as at 5 to provide convenient means for engagement b the fingers of an operator in removing the ivision wall when desired, as the ends of the wire are supposed to snugly engage the walls of the pan and hold thelip tightly against the ends of the division wa The rincipal object of the lower extremities oi the division wall being bent outwardly at right angles is to provide means to prevent the leaking or running of batter or the like of which a cake may be composed from one compartment of the pan to the other, that is to say, if the chef or cook is baking two cakes of diflerent color simultaneously in the pan, there would be no danger of their running together and one discoloring the other.

Furthermore the division wall having these projecting base portions assists materially in removing the cakes from the pan, and, as is obvious, may he slid towards either one side or the other of the pan to divide it as desired, making two equally sized cakes or one narrow and one wide, and two or bent outwardly as at 4 at right angles to' Ell more division walls may be used in a single Having thus described my invention, what I c aim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

A removable division wall for receptacles comprising a piece of sheet metal bent upon 10c itself .to form the vertical portion thereof and turned outwardly at ri ht angles to the vertical portion along the ine of its base, and a piece of spring wire embedded within the upper extremityof the folded portion,

said wire extending beyond the ends of the -wall and bent downwardly substantially ceptacle to which the division wall is apl0 pliiald to form holding means for the division wa 1 In testimon whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in t e presence of two witnesses:
